In my little garden – now promise you won’t laugh,
I haven’t any owers and I haven’t any grass.

There’ll be a lovely row of
One potato, two potato, three potato, four.
Five potato, six potato, seven potato, more!

One Potato, Two Potato
In my little garden – now promise you won’t laugh,
I haven’t any owers and I haven’t any grass.
But now I’m going to dig and plant And soon I’ll have a show:
With a bit of sun and a bit of rain
There’ll be a lovely row of
One potato, two potato, three potato, four.
Five potato, six potato, seven potato, more!
The Stewards of Sections 27 and 28 wish to thank all Parents and School Staff who, with their guidance and encouragement, help us to mount such an outstanding display of their children’s work. Our reward each year is to see so many smiling faces. Thank You
